China (Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan, Hebei, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Shandong, Sichuan, Yunnan, Zhejiang), Japan, Korea; India subcontinent; Indo-China, Malesia. Note. This species is widely distributed in East Asia. In northern China, it is univoltine and overwinters as eggs. In southern China and other tropical areas, they are bivoltine or polyvoltine and overwinter as nymphs. The mandible is allometric. Large male individuals have long mandibles, appearing concave near the clypeus (Ingrisch 1998). However, small male individuals do not have long mandibles, is similar to V. micado (Fig. 1 d).	en	Chen, Guang-Yu, Shen, Chu-Ze, Liu, Yun-Fei, Liao, Wang, He, Zhu-Qing (2018): A phylogenetic study of Chinese Velarifictorus Randell, 1964 based on COI gene with describing one new species (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Gryllinae).

03C6A40DFFF8382DF1E1BE20AE6CF950.taxon	distribution	Distribution. China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hebei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Shandong, Shanxi, Sichuan, Taiwan, Tibet, Yunnan, Zhejiang), Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Sulawesi and North America. Note. This species is widely distributed in China and common in artificial environments, such as fields or parks, but is not common in natural environments such as mountains. In northern China, the crickets are univoltine and they overwinter as eggs, which is similar to V. aspersus, but the latter species prefers mountains. In southern China, they are bivoltine or polyvoltine, and overwinter as nymphs. The different life cycle has been observed in Zhejiang Prov., China, but individuals belonging to different life cycles do not mate with each other (He & Takeda 2013) and retain their own cycles. Thus, in Zhejiang, the adult niche is: in summer, V. micado (nymph overwinter type) in mountains; and in autumn, V. micado (egg overwinter type) in plains and V. aspersus in mountains.	en	Chen, Guang-Yu, Shen, Chu-Ze, Liu, Yun-Fei, Liao, Wang, He, Zhu-Qing (2018): A phylogenetic study of Chinese Velarifictorus Randell, 1964 based on COI gene with describing one new species (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Gryllinae).
